Maybe Next Time

A Party?

The feeling of warm water dripping down her body and hair as she stepped out of her rather expensive looking shower with a towel wrapped around her chest and waist, the steam from the water had fogged up the windows. A small smile made it's way up her face while she walked towards her luxurious room.

Sleep. Time for sleep.

A soft sound of a notification from Minji's cellphone broke the silence in her room. It was a message. From who? Minji's smile had soon been replaced into a frown as she read the name of the owner. Hanni, her best friend for at least 5 years. What does that girl want now? Tapping on the bubble, it revealed that Hanni had been messaging her non-stop.

"Seriously, a thousand messages? Does that girl ever take a break?" Minji's voice rang through her silent bedroom, she felt her eyelid twitch as she read through the messages

_—Minji!

_—Min!!!

_—You know how there's a formal party going on at the Kang's?

_—I found a way to sneak into the Kang's residency!!!

_—I'm such a good friend right 👊

_—I know you don't like going to party's but just got his once. I promise it would be fun so reply ASAP

A soft sigh escaped from Minji's lips. The 'royal' Kang's. Her family's, The Kim's, enemy for life. How did Hanni even find a way? Danielle must have helped. Minji cranked her neck to the side making a soft 'crk' noise in the process as her thumbs started moving against the phone screen. Replying to Hanni's message.

—Why

Minji tapped on the send button with her thumb, she knew it was a bit dry but what else should she reply with, a simple 'why' should be enough. She placed her phone on the small cabinet next to her king sized bed and left it there to change into proper clothes. The rough fabric of the towel finally was removed and was replaced with a much softer fabric, aka her clothes. Giving Minji a sense of relief. She never liked using a towel, she would rather use a robe.

Soon she heard the same sound of a notification coming from her phone. Approaching the cabinet, it was yet another message from Hanni.

_—Seriously? Just a why??? You couldn't even elaborate 😡

_—Nevermind that, now please come to the party with me! Even Danielle is coming!!

Minji shook her head at the message. Danielle, Hanni's childhood friend. Minji knew how much Hanni loved Danielle, she could not possibly say no.

—I'll se if I can go

_—heh se

—shut up

_—okay rude, the party starts at 6 btw

Minji looked at the time, 3.46 a.m. She groaned, throwing her phone on the bed before she followed after. The soft mattress of the bed dipped under her weight. Minji shifted under the silk sheets of her bed, her phone moving together with the sheets. Her eyes wide open as all the fatigue she felt earlier had disappeared long ago.

Soon, Minji was lost in her thoughts. Imagining the palace that she would have to enter in just a few hours, imagining how many people there would be. A shiver ran down her spine. No. She never liked cramped spaces, that's why she had only been to a few parties in her life. Well, she would just have to wait. Minji started to feel her eyelids turn heavy and start to droop. Maybe taking a nap would not be so bad, Minji thought as she closed her eyes and fell into a deep slumber.

Hello, author here. This book is just an experiment. Romance, yes, but I'm going to refrain from writing any intimate stuff like kissing or those freaky stuff. This book is also inspired by another so credit to the person (Haeminji1). It's also my first time writing an actual story and I'm not that good at English so if there's some punctuation errors or whatever don't mind. 😈
